Dean Cain, best known for his role as Superman in the 1990s television series "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman," has announced his intention to join the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. Cain revealed this week that he will be sworn in as an ICE agent as part of the agency's extensive recruitment campaign amid the Trump administration's intensified immigration enforcement efforts. The actor stated that his motivation for joining ICE is to "safeguard" American citizens and expressed support for Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, describing it as fulfilling the public's mandate. Cain has publicly backed Trump in all three of his election campaigns. His announcement has drawn criticism from various Hollywood figures, including actor John Leguizamo, who called Cain a "loser" and a "moron" for his decision. Despite the backlash, Cain responded to the criticism with a measured reply. The move marks a notable transition from Cain's entertainment career to active participation in federal immigration enforcement during a period of heightened political and social debate over immigration policies in the United States.
